Snow Series
Gesture. Motion. Memory.
My mom shot home movies on 8mm film. When I had the footage transferred to a digital format, I was reminded of the fun we had playing in the snow. I referenced still frames from the film to recapture the memories.
Thanks, Mom, for consistently dragging out the old film camera.

These paintings attempt to capture how it felt to play until you had to reluctantly go in because your feet and hands were numb.

The stark shapes, shadows and contrast of winter with a solitary figure inspired these pieces.
